One hundredth of a mm, the standard unit on metric micrometers, is equal to 2.5 thousandths of an inch. Surely you can measure small distinctions with that. <br> </div> <div id="AOLMsgPart_1_4019305a-3471-4827-9027-bb5a46f8f14f" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Not fine enough resolution for distinguishing different sizes of center pins and piano wire. Also, I have had one or two thousands of an inch make or break my day on larger items as well. YMMV.</span></span></div> <div id="AOLMsgPart_1_4019305a-3471-4827-9027-bb5a46f8f14f" style="margin: 0px;font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;font-size: 12px;color: #000;background-color: #fff;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div> <div id="AOLMsgPart_1_4019305a-3471-4827-9027-bb5a46f8f14f" style="margin: 0px;font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;font-size: 12px;color: #000;background-color: #fff;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div> <div id="AOLMsgPart_1_4019305a-3471-4827-9027-bb5a46f8f14f" style="margin: 0px;font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;font-size: 12px;color: #000;background-color: #fff;">Alan Eder <br> </div>  <div class="AOLPromoFooter"> <hr style="margin-top:10px;" /> More new features than ever.
